Nick and Todd are back with more mental health news, ready to dissect the headlines and spark your critical thinking.

Nick brings research reporting linking depression and anxiety to a vitamin D deficiency. Ongoing research continues to examine the link between vitamin D and mental health due to the symptom overlap between vitamin D deficiency deficiency and those of depression, anxiety, and cognitive decline. Nick and Todd discuss the research and the importance of integrated approaches to mental health treatments.

Todd brings to light a new Canadian policy for involuntary drug treatments. Alberta, Canada, has introduced new legislation that would be the first involuntary treatment law in Canada to target addiction for adults. Todd and Nick debate whether family members, doctors, or police can force drug users into a treatment plan.
